Questions & AnswersHi this Shanis Windland, on behalf of Expert Village, and in our video series on how to make your own baby food. I thought it would be great to talk about how to incorporate tofu into your baby food diet. Tofu I think a lot of people are scared to use, not sure quite what to do with it, how to cook it, what kind to buy. But for babies it is actually really simple, and since you are making your own baby food it is wonderful to incorporate tofu into that food. Baby will eat it and not even realize their eating a really great protein for them. So, the kind that I buy is actually silken tofu and it will say right on the package that it is best for soups sauces and smoothies. You can just incorporate this right in to the baby food that you have already made. The first thing you have got to do is cut open the package. I like to make just a little slice, and get some of the extra water out of it. The silken tofu there is not as much extra water as there would be in the harder tofu, because it is already pretty mushy as you can see. So what I do is add the tofu right to my food processor, and not too much. Tofu still has a taste to it, so you don't want to overwhelm baby with to much tofu to start with, see how they like it. Then I have some berries that I made previously, and I am going to add that right in. Put the lid on. Mix it up.
